| * | tty: cyclades, remove this orphanJiri Slaby2021-03-101-10/+0
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Cyclades driver was orphaned by commit d459883e6c54 (MAINTAINERS: remove two dead e-mail) 13 years ago. Noone stepped up to take care of them and to fix all the issues the driver has. On the top of that, there is no way to obtain the firmware for Z cards from the vendor as cyclades.com ceased to exist. So it's time to drop the driver with all its traces.

The feature is based on the original idea of PaX's RANDSTACK feature, but uses a significantly different implementation. The offset does not affect the pt_regs location on the task stack as this was agreed on to be of dubious value. The offset is applied before the actual syscall is invoked. The offset is stored per cpu and the randomization happens at the end of the syscall which is less predictable than on syscall entry. The mechanism to apply the offset is via alloca(), i.e. abusing the dispised VLAs. This comes with the drawback that stack-clash-protection has to be disabled for the affected compilation units and there is also a negative interaction with stack-protector. Those downsides are traded with the advantage that this approach does not require any intrusive changes to the low level assembly entry code, does not affect the unwinder and the correct stack alignment is handled automatically by the compiler. The feature is guarded with a static branch which avoids the overhead when disabled.

This feature is controlled by the boot param "randomize_kstack_offset=on/off", with its default value set by CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT. This feature is based on the original idea from the last public release of PaX's RANDKSTACK feature: https://pax.grsecurity.net/docs/randkstack.txt All the credit for the original idea goes to the PaX team. Note that the design and implementation of this upstream randomize_kstack_offset feature differs greatly from the RANDKSTACK feature (see below). Reasoning for the feature: This feature aims to make harder the various stack-based attacks that rely on deterministic stack structure. We have had many such attacks in past (just to name few): https://jon.oberheide.org/files/infiltrate12-thestackisback.pdf https://jon.oberheide.org/files/stackjacking-infiltrate11.pdf https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/06/exploiting-recursion-in-linux-kernel_20.html As Linux kernel stack protections have been constantly improving (vmap-based stack allocation with guard pages, removal of thread_info, STACKLEAK), attackers have had to find new ways for their exploits to work. They have done so, continuing to rely on the kernel's stack determinism, in situations where VMAP_STACK and THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT were not relevant. For example, the following recent attacks would have been hampered if the stack offset was non-deterministic between syscalls: https://repositorio-aberto.up.pt/bitstream/10216/125357/2/374717.pdf (page 70: targeting the pt_regs copy with linear stack overflow) https://a13xp0p0v.github.io/2020/02/15/CVE-2019-18683.html (leaked stack address from one syscall as a target during next syscall) The main idea is that since the stack offset is randomized on each system call, it is harder for an attack to reliably land in any particular place on the thread stack, even with address exposures, as the stack base will change on the next syscall. Also, since randomization is performed after placing pt_regs, the ptrace-based approach[1] to discover the randomized offset during a long-running syscall should not be possible. Design description: During most of the kernel's execution, it runs on the "thread stack", which is pretty deterministic in its structure: it is fixed in size, and on every entry from userspace to kernel on a syscall the thread stack starts construction from an address fetched from the per-cpu cpu_current_top_of_stack variable. The first element to be pushed to the thread stack is the pt_regs struct that stores all required CPU registers and syscall parameters. Finally the specific syscall function is called, with the stack being used as the kernel executes the resulting request. The goal of randomize_kstack_offset feature is to add a random offset after the pt_regs has been pushed to the stack and before the rest of the thread stack is used during the syscall processing, and to change it every time a process issues a syscall. The source of randomness is currently architecture-defined (but x86 is using the low byte of rdtsc()). Future improvements for different entropy sources is possible, but out of scope for this patch. Further more, to add more unpredictability, new offsets are chosen at the end of syscalls (the timing of which should be less easy to measure from userspace than at syscall entry time), and stored in a per-CPU variable, so that the life of the value does not stay explicitly tied to a single task. As suggested by Andy Lutomirski, the offset is added using alloca() and an empty asm() statement with an output constraint, since it avoids changes to assembly syscall entry code, to the unwinder, and provides correct stack alignment as defined by the compiler. In order to make this available by default with zero performance impact for those that don't want it, it is boot-time selectable with static branches. This way, if the overhead is not wanted, it can just be left turned off with no performance impact. The generated assembly for x86_64 with GCC looks like this: ... ffffffff81003977: 65 8b 05 02 ea 00 7f mov %gs:0x7f00ea02(%rip),%eax # 12380 <kstack_offset> ffffffff8100397e: 25 ff 03 00 00 and $0x3ff,%eax ffffffff81003983: 48 83 c0 0f add $0xf,%rax ffffffff81003987: 25 f8 07 00 00 and $0x7f8,%eax ffffffff8100398c: 48 29 c4 sub %rax,%rsp ffffffff8100398f: 48 8d 44 24 0f lea 0xf(%rsp),%rax ffffffff81003994: 48 83 e0 f0 and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rax ... As a result of the above stack alignment, this patch introduces about 5 bits of randomness after pt_regs is spilled to the thread stack on x86_64, and 6 bits on x86_32 (since its has 1 fewer bit required for stack alignment). The amount of entropy could be adjusted based on how much of the stack space we wish to trade for security. My measure of syscall performance overhead (on x86_64): lmbench: /usr/lib/lmbench/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu/lat_syscall -N 10000 null randomize_kstack_offset=y Simple syscall: 0.7082 microseconds randomize_kstack_offset=n Simple syscall: 0.7016 microseconds So, roughly 0.9% overhead growth for a no-op syscall, which is very manageable. And for people that don't want this, it's off by default. There are two gotchas with using the alloca() trick. First, compilers that have Stack Clash protection (-fstack-clash-protection) enabled by default (e.g. Ubuntu[3]) add pagesize stack probes to any dynamic stack allocations. While the randomization offset is always less than a page, the resulting assembly would still contain (unreachable!) probing routines, bloating the resulting assembly. To avoid this, -fno-stack-clash-protection is unconditionally added to the kernel Makefile since this is the only dynamic stack allocation in the kernel (now that VLAs have been removed) and it is provably safe from Stack Clash style attacks. The second gotcha with alloca() is a negative interaction with -fstack-protector*, in that it sees the alloca() as an array allocation, which triggers the unconditional addition of the stack canary function pre/post-amble which slows down syscalls regardless of the static branch. In order to avoid adding this unneeded check and its associated performance impact, architectures need to carefully remove uses of -fstack-protector-strong (or -fstack-protector) in the compilation units that use the add_random_kstack() macro and to audit the resulting stack mitigation coverage (to make sure no desired coverage disappears). No change is visible for this on x86 because the stack protector is already unconditionally disabled for the compilation unit, but the change is required on arm64. There is, unfortunately, no attribute that can be used to disable stack protector for specific functions. Comparison to PaX RANDKSTACK feature: The RANDKSTACK feature randomizes the location of the stack start (cpu_current_top_of_stack), i.e. including the location of pt_regs structure itself on the stack. Initially this patch followed the same approach, but during the recent discussions[2], it has been determined to be of a little value since, if ptrace functionality is available for an attacker, they can use PTRACE_PEEKUSR/PTRACE_POKEUSR to read/write different offsets in the pt_regs struct, observe the cache behavior of the pt_regs accesses, and figure out the random stack offset. Another difference is that the random offset is stored in a per-cpu variable, rather than having it be per-thread. As a result, these implementations differ a fair bit in their implementation details and results, though obviously the intent is similar.

* / KEYS: trusted: Add generic trusted keys frameworkSumit Garg2021-04-141-0/+12
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current trusted keys framework is tightly coupled to use TPM device as an underlying implementation which makes it difficult for implementations like Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) etc. to provide trusted keys support in case platform doesn't posses a TPM device. Add a generic trusted keys framework where underlying implementations can be easily plugged in. Create struct trusted_key_ops to achieve this, which contains necessary functions of a backend. Also, define a module parameter in order to select a particular trust source in case a platform support multiple trust sources. In case its not specified then implementation itetrates through trust sources list starting with TPM and assign the first trust source as a backend which has initiazed successfully during iteration. Note that current implementation only supports a single trust source at runtime which is either selectable at compile time or during boot via aforementioned module parameter.

Reshuffle the members to optimize the memory layout. Also, let's clarify what the interface once was used for and why it's legacy nowadays. "phys_device" was used on s390x in older versions of lsmem[2]/chmem[3], back when they were still part of s390x-tools. They were later replaced by the variants in linux-utils. For example, RHEL6 and RHEL7 contain lsmem/chmem from s390-utils. RHEL8 switched to versions from util-linux on s390x [4]. "phys_device" was added with sysfs support for memory hotplug in commit 3947be1969a9 ("[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions") in 2005. It always returned 0. s390x started returning something != 0 on some setups (if sclp.rzm is set by HW) in 2010 via commit 57b552ba0b2f ("memory hotplug/s390: set phys_device"). For s390x, it allowed for identifying which memory block devices belong to the same storage increment (RZM). Only if all memory block devices comprising a single storage increment were offline, the memory could actually be removed in the hypervisor. Since commit e5d709bb5fb7 ("s390/memory hotplug: provide memory_block_size_bytes() function") in 2013 a memory block device spans at least one storage increment - which is why the interface isn't really helpful/used anymore (except by old lsmem/chmem tools). There were once RFC patches to make use of "phys_device" in ACPI context; however, the underlying problem could be solved using different interfaces [1].

Like a good kernel developer, I also went to go update the documentation. I noticed that the bits in the documentation didn't match the bits in the #defines. The VM never explicitly checks the RECLAIM_ZONE bit. The bit is, however implicitly checked when checking 'node_reclaim_mode==0'. The RECLAIM_ZONE #define was removed in a cleanup. That, by itself is fine. But, when the bit was removed (bit 0) the _other_ bit locations also got changed. That's not OK because the bit values are documented to mean one specific thing. Users surely do not expect the meaning to change from kernel to kernel. The end result is that if someone had a script that did: sysctl vm.zone_reclaim_mode=1 it would have gone from enabling node reclaim for clean unmapped pages to writing out pages during node reclaim after the commit in question. That's not great. Put the bits back the way they were and add a comment so something like this is a bit harder to do again. Update the documentation to make it clear that the first bit is ignored.

The swapcache represents the memory that is accounted against both the memory and the swap limit of the cgroup. The main motivation behind exposing the swapcache stat is for enabling users to gracefully migrate from cgroup v1's memsw counter to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters. Cgroup v1's memsw limit allows users to limit the memory+swap usage of a workload but without control on the exact proportion of memory and swap. Cgroup v2 provides separate limits for memory and swap which enables more control on the exact usage of memory and swap individually for the workload. With some little subtleties, the v1's memsw limit can be switched with the sum of the v2's memory and swap limits. However the alternative for memsw usage is not yet available in cgroup v2. Exposing per-cgroup swapcache stat enables that alternative. Adding the memory usage and swap usage and subtracting the swapcache will approximate the memsw usage. This will help in the transparent migration of the workloads depending on memsw usage and limit to v2' memory and swap counters. The reasons these applications are still interested in this approximate memsw usage are: (1) these applications are not really interested in two separate memory and swap usage metrics. A single usage metric is more simple to use and reason about for them. (2) The memsw usage metric hides the underlying system's swap setup from the applications. Applications with multiple instances running in a datacenter with heterogeneous systems (some have swap and some don't) will keep seeing a consistent view of their usage.

There are no bugs or problems ever reported outside from Intel for breaking any of that platforms for years. It seems no real users exists who run more or less fresh kernel on it. Commit 05f4434bc130 ("ASoC: Intel: remove mfld_machine") is also in align with this theory. Due to above and to reduce a burden of supporting outdated drivers, remove the support for outdated platforms completely.

To fix, use table formatting, like in other places.
